Network.Protocol.NetSNMP is a partial binding to the
library portion of the net-snmp package. It uses the
'single-session api', which is claimed to be
thread-safe. Not all operations are supported yet;
please contact the maintainer if you're in need of
expanded functionality, and especially if you would
like to contribute.

Maintainer's Corner

Readme for NetSNMP-0.1.6

The (Haskell) NetSNMP package is a binding for a subset of the libsnmp
api provided by the NetSNMP project. It is initially being developed
against NetSNMP version 5.4.1, but probably works with most or all 5.*
versions.
Currently supported protocol versions:
SNMPv1 -- original SNMP
SNMPv2c -- v2 protocol with old community-based security
Not yet supported:
SNMPv3 -- v2 protocol plus new v3 party-based security
Other versions are not supported by the underlying library, and are
unlikely to ever be supported by this package.
SNMPsec -- first attempt to add strong security to SNMPv1
SNMPv2p -- initial SNMPv2, with v2 party-based security
SNMPv2u -- v2 protocol with user-based security
SNMPv2* -- proprietary hybrid variant of v2c and v2p
This binding requires that net-snmp be built without
NETSNMP_DISABLE_SNMPV1 or NETSNMP_DISABLE_SNMPV2C. I'd love to support
those options, since they may encourage better security, but I won't be able
to prioritize this in the forseeable future.
